Vang

From Ornlong Veng district of Siem Reap Province, Vang is a 58 year old woman who earns a profit by breeding a few pigs in a cage behind her house.

For additional profit, Vang also distills liquor at her house and is earning an income of around $1.50 a day. Her husband is domestic farmer, and he often plants some crops on his own land. They have three single children, one of whom works in the same business. As this is rainy season, Vang’s husband doesn’t have funds to start growing his crops yet. Therefore, Vang would like a loan to buy a plowing machine to plow; her husband can begin to plant his crops.
